“THE SERENITY OF NATURE” by Tom Brown8”x10” Original Oil on canvas panel

This peaceful scene is not far from my home in Southern California. I paint outdoors at locations like this several times weekly, but currently much of my time is also occupied in the studio creating larger paintings for a one man show that will be held later this year.

This painting will be included in my gallery show at a much higher price, but I am offering it on my blog for a short time at a reduced price with free shipping. If you wish to purchase it, email me at:

This little jewel of a painting sparkles with magic and will add considerable charm to any room of your home or office. The actual painted image measures approximately 3.5 inches wide by 3 inches high and it is painted on a 7x7 inch gessoed panel ready to hang.

It can be placed within a frame or it can be “floated” without a frame as shown in the photo. To float this painting, spacers (supplied) are used on the back of the panel that suspend it ¼” from the wall and make it appear to float in space. This is a very contemporary look and requires no frame. Thanks for looking.

This painting shows the movie theater on the El Toro Marine Base in Southern California, framed by picturesque scenery in the background. The base is no longer an active military installation and the theater is abandoned. The marquee in front still carries the promise, “NOW PLAYING…”

This view along Portola Parkway is another of my favorite spots in Irvine, California not far from my home. I once painted this same scene many years ago when the current parkway was merely a dirt biking trail. The tall trees in the foreground are eucalyptus, and behind them avocado groves blanket the hillsides. I feel very fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world.

A friend and I were recently discussing through email what makes one piece of art stand out from others. I feel that emotion is what lends “magic” to a painting, even if the subject is something as humble as a worn out shoe. Can’t you feel the emotion in the brushwork, lighting and color of this piece?

During the recent full moon I grabbed my paintbox and captured this dramatic moonrise on location. I have a special lamp that attaches to my cap which illuminates my painting and palette so that I can work in moonlight. Check out the photos.

A friend and I were recently discussing through email what makes one piece of art stand out from others. I feel that emotion is the most important element in art, no matter what the subject. An awe-inspiring landscape or something as mundane as chocolate covered cherries can emotionally move the artist and lend a certain “magic” to the painting. Can’t you just TASTE the rich chocolate in these? Mmmmmmm, I can. Bon apetite!

When I conduct Plein Air Workshops I limit my choice of locations to spots easily reached by car, for the convenience of the others. But when I paint for my own enjoyment I often go far off the beaten path. I love to get out in the country with my paintbox and capture sights like this on canvas. Enjoy!
